But when we talk of emotional growth saying that marijuana is entirely responsible by itself for hindering your emotional growth is not entirely correct because responsiblity can be learned just as all other behaviors. Physically all things in excess can hinder your growth. Being intoxicated your entire life will cause the adverse and negative reactions and definitly affect your health. As with to any drug. When people against legalization argue all they talk about are the negative effects. But all drugs including pharmacuticals have adverse reactions. Not only that some of the information they rely on are years of studies focused only on the negative effects of marijuana and lead them to hasty generalizations that have continued throughs years like an ongoing rumor. It is absolutly necessary to investigate the reliability of the source of the information. When they say marijuana is bad we need to find where the statement came from (It should be cited) and determine the validity of the statement. Because if we don't then the anti-legalization organizations can use publications against us as evidence for there case. But if we can prove all there evidence wrong it will be good.

An author can write anything they want and repeated authors saying marijuana is bad provides more and more evidence against marijuana, but how do we know that the sources are valid. A DARE officer is not a doctor so I find it hard to believe that they are experts on drug abuse. The police know crime and they see violence caused by drugs because they are illegal and therefore will be in possesion of people willing to break the law.
